Authorities in Indiana are on the lookout for a woman accused of faking a pregnancy in order to gain access to the hospital's labor and delivery areas.

Police believe the woman did it at Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie.

Community Health North Hospital, which delivers the most babies in Indiana, said it's crucial to run regular, unannounced drills in times like these, to make sure no one has access to newborns who shouldn't.

"As soon as a baby is delivered, we put identification on the baby, which does include a security tag," Jamie Phillippe said.

When threats like these come in, they share photos with all staff members of people of interest and constantly monitor video feeds. It's unclear whether there is surveillance video in this case.

Ball Memorial wouldn't say whether they have identified the woman in question, but said, "While no related criminal activity has taken place or charges have been filed, hospital police, leadership and team members remain vigilant. The safety and the very best care of patients and guests are always the highest priority."
